This video covers all the steps needed to make perfect black sesame tangyuan at home! Whether for Lunar New Year or just a cold weather treat, tangyuan are a staple of any Chinese household. I also walk you through how to shake things up and add some colors/designs to your tangyuan.

RECIPE
makes about 20 tangyuan

Filling ingredients
45g refined coconut oil (liquid but not hot)
35g granulated sugar
65g black sesame powder
big pinch of salt

Ginger broth ingredients
1qt water
3-5” knob of ginger, peeled and sliced
small handful rock sugar, to taste

Wrapper dough ingredients
120g glutinous rice flour
40g boiling water
50g room temp water

**Important note about natural food coloring!!**
A lot of natural food coloring comes from other things/foods so it carries its own flavor. be careful to not add too much (i always start with about 1/4 tsp) or your dough may end up carrying that flavor — unless, of course, that’s what you’re going for!
